I don't ever tell this to anyone but I love sratching off my scabs and eating it. I know it's a bad habit.
Last weekend I was drunk with some friends and got a carpet burn on my knee and now it turned into a scab and now I'm sratching off the scab and eating it. Does anyone do or has done this?
I do that, too. I've even catalogued the various types of scabs, and have preferences on which ones I like to eat most. I prefer the crispy ones that cover mostly healed skin. If one gets infected, I love to lap up the pus that comes out.
Believe it or not but I know of people and have heard of people doing this. Maybe it's not completely common, but I don't think you're the only one who does it. I don't usually cut myself to where I get a scab so I've never had this dilemma, I just bruise really easily.
Perhaps it's the same as people getting small cuts and licking the excess blood from the wound? Because I know A LOT of people who do that.
Honestly I'm not sure how to vote this, if its normal or not. I've done it before, sadly, and I'm not sure if its normal to do this or not.
